Can Roms be changed to different devices?

[kaley25]

Hello everyone I wanted to know if its possible to use Roms on other device for example using a htc x custom Rom on a htc one v phone is that possible or does that some how ruin your phone. If anybody has tried that is the results!

The ROM is particular to the phone. You can not interchange them between devices! When you see a ROM that has been ported...that is exactly what it means; a dev took a ROM from a one x and ported it to the one v.

Provision is my favorite ROM! I've never had problems with MMS or data. What were your exact steps when you installed it?

I erased dalvik cache, factory/data erase and partition erased. Then I installed provision Rom from sd card and after it was done I flashed boot.img. that was in zipfolder of provision Rom.

I always wipe system as well....I don't want any residual data anywhere causing issues. Did you install gapps?

It may be worth a fresh wipe and install. I always do ROM, boot IMG, then gapps.

I use 'my backup pro'. It saves apks and data....settings would need to be redone. Whenever you copy settings, bad things happen!
